The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

However, if it were an ordinary business card, people would probably just throw it away after taking it.

So, she had to make some little gadgets, give them away for free, and then engrave her stall address on it to advertise.

But Xiao Han couldn't figure out what kind of gadget to make.

After leaving the teahouse, Xiao Han rushed to the next market where stalls were set up.

To be honest, Xiao Han envied these hunter-gatherers. In her opinion, cultivators used spells, magic weapons, and alchemy arrays to aid in combating demonic beasts, then obtained their bodies and, along the way, found some rare treasures. This was the model of the immortal world depicted in immortality novels.

People like her, who have been staying in the fairy city and doing the work of collecting scrap, no wonder they don’t have the halo and treatment of the protagonist.

So, there must be a reason why Heaven didn't give me the golden finger? If a cultivator like me wanted a great opportunity, Heaven probably wouldn't know where to arrange it.

It's impossible that she was running on the road and tripped over something, and that thing turned out to be a magical artifact?

Or, could he collect a discarded bottle, and then use it like Han Li's treasure bottle to quickly improve his cultivation? Or could he add the spiritual fluid inside to the magic weapon he was refining, turning a low-level magic weapon into a high-level one instantly?

Xiao Han was amused by his own imagination.

Alas! After more than ten years in this alternate time and space, I should have given up on having a golden finger long ago.

While setting up the stall, Xiao Han looked at his watch and suddenly thought of where to engrave the scrap collection advertisement.

I could make a simple hour clock using the lowest-grade materials. It'd be about the size of a small alarm clock, and I wouldn't expect it to last very long; a year or two would be enough. I didn't need anything fancy; the better it was, the easier it would be to make.

Your own advertisement is engraved on the back of the hour clock.

Although watches have become standard equipment for many monks, I believe that no one will refuse a free hour clock if it is handed to them.

After calculating the cost of raw materials, I estimated that it could be purchased for the cost of one spirit stone.

As for the time spent on refining the weapon, with her proficiency in making watches, and her current level of cultivation at the fifth level of Qi training, she could make a hundred very crude small clocks in about half a day.

Spend one hundred spirit stones and give them to one hundred hunting monks, and run some advertising first to see the effect.

Two days later, after finishing work, Xiao Han triggered the restriction of Ye Qi's cave.

Ye Qi opened the door, saw Xiao Han, walked out and asked, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, is there anything wrong?"

When Xiao Han saw the face that looked so much like Ying Bao, she really wanted to go up and hug her former idol. Fortunately, she still had some sense and knew that this person was not Ying Bao.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, this is for you." Xiao Han handed a palm-sized tiger-shaped magic weapon to Ye Qi.

This is a disposable magic weapon. After being injected with spiritual power, the magic weapon will instantly become larger and then emit a roar like a tiger.

The magical weapon had little offensive power, but its advantage was that it required only a small amount of spiritual energy to activate quickly, and the sound was like a real tiger roar, used to attract the attention of monsters. After all, most monsters had an innate fear of tigers in their blood.

When the monster is distracted by the tiger's magic weapon, the cultivator can either seize the opportunity to escape or attack the monster.

Such a magical weapon with no other function is not only simple to refine, but also cheap, and can be made with about ten spirit stones.

Of course, the ones sold in the magic tool shop would cost at least 20 to 30 spirit stones. After all, they had to add the refining costs and make a profit.

Ye Qi looked at the tiger magic weapon with some surprise, then looked at Xiao Han.

"No merit, no reward. What are you doing, Fellow Daoist Xiao...?"

Xiao Han smiled and explained his purpose, "So, this little magical instrument is the reward for helping Fellow Daoist Ye deliver the Hour Clock to me."

She took out another small clock and showed it to Ye Qi.

There is a base underneath the small clock, which can be placed anywhere. Although the whole small clock is made of inferior materials and lacks much charm, it is a genuine clock that can tell time.

Of course, it is certain that the lifespan of a small clock is not long.

Ye Qi took a closer look at the small bell and saw the words engraved on the back: Damaged magic tools will be bought back at high prices, followed by the name of the market and the stall number. He couldn't help but chuckle.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, are you making a lot of money recycling damaged magical instruments? Otherwise, why would you spend so much money giving things away for free just to tell them your stall address?"

Xiao Han knew that these monks would not understand the significance of spending money on advertising.

She smiled and explained, "I spend a little money and wait for business to come to me, so that I don't have any waste products and others don't know where to exchange them for spirit stones."

The two chatted for a while, and Ye Qi took the tiger magic weapon and the hour clock and agreed to Xiao Han's request.

After all, it's just giving gifts to others for free, and for her, it just makes her more popular.

As the days passed, Xiao Han's clock advertisement did have some effect. At least two monks came here because they saw the address on it.

Just by using the scrap magic weapons these two people brought out, Xiao Han earned back the advertising fees he paid and even had some left over.

And Senior Brother Li Moyun finally became Hu Xi's apprentice.

Because he was an apprentice for three years for free, Hu Xi did not promise to teach him the knowledge of refining equipment. It was all up to him to follow him and learn on his own. Therefore, the two did not have a real master-disciple relationship.

Despite this, Li Moyun was still very grateful to Hu Xi. After all, although Hu Xi didn't teach him how to refine weapons step by step, he never hid anything from him.

He is not able to refine high-level magic weapons now, but he has no problem refining intermediate-level magic weapons.

Xiao Han had considered waiting for Senior Brother Li to complete his apprenticeship, and then becoming his apprentice, so he could definitely learn the real skills. Alternatively, he could simply follow him around and help out as an unpaid apprentice, and Senior Brother Li would surely be willing to give him guidance.

Unfortunately, Li Moyun was not satisfied with only being able to refine mid-grade magic weapons. He wanted to reach a higher level, so he decided to leave Zixiao City and go to other immortal cities to seek opportunities to continue learning.

Xiao Han couldn't give up her scrap collection business and follow Li Moyun on his journey. After all, if she wanted to improve her cultivation as quickly as possible, she had to use spirit stones. But following Senior Brother Li was too risky, and she had no time to waste.

With Li Moyun gone, Xiao Han no longer had the opportunity to improve her skills. She could only concentrate on collecting waste and refining it, and also sell some small magical tools like watches and disposable tigers.

Although her life was busy, she was satisfied with the spirit stones she had accumulated.

So she had another goal of saving money in her mind, which was to accumulate 50,000 spirit stones to buy the Spirit Cleansing Pill to try.
